for the only motire which Congress
had or could have in passii^t the
res .lotica The eonntrr may thank Mr Fre-
linghcyse-n t'uat he has so appropriately re-
ferred to the sound political principles which
lie at* the basis of the government of this
country. These principles would forbid that a
ministerial otfe-ar should intercept a message
of condolence which might be addressed by a
f .'reign represeastatire body to Congress if a
j member of Congress should die abroad. It
would be no excuse to say that the member
had been opposed to the policy of the admin-
stration. or that the resolution contained some
broad expressions too generous in estimating
the actual results of his services to his country.
We are in this country too civilized to
permit a minister to trample upon a
friendly expression for such matter of
personal displeasure to himself. The
House, it seems to The Siws. «oald hardly
have done better tfrnn to this expression
of the state department as its final comment
upon the action of Prince Bismarck, and
thank the secretary for having answered so
correctly and in accordance with the feeling
of the House and of -the American people.

were called into aa ad-

blindfolded and led into the room where the young
ladies were, and thea asked: 44 Who <10 you want
to kiss you?" Upon naming a certain lady m the
room he would receive a bouncing kiss right in the
mouth. To the young man's disgust he found that
he bad been kissed by the colored cook instead « f
tne fair creature he bad named. It was lots of fun
for the girts, and the boys that had been kissed, to
watch the action of the new victims. Some were
disgusted and others were inclined to get mad. but
the laugh wss on them.
The disgust should not have been partial, but
directed against the whole affair.
The Laredo Times copies, without comment,
the following from the Mobile Register:
Tom Ochiltree may now be considered as an in-
ternational question; said yes we don't believe that
the Hon. Tom could tell you who Herr Lasker was,
or what have been his opiniona. The great State
ot Texas, or rather Galveston, has a representative
in Congress who is absolutely the laughing stock
of the two contiikaata
The Register shows its own ignorance.
Ochiltree was personally acquainted with
Lasker, and introduced him to the president
shortly before the death of the German states-
man. As for the rest, the red-headed ranger
answers for himself.
A Washington special to the Chicago News
says:
Tom Ochiltree is getting on his war-paint. When
asked if be thought the House would vindicate him,
be replied: ** You can be: your sweet life it will.
I am sorry to give old Bis so much prominence
before the world, but before he gets through with
Tom Of nil tree he will thtsa a tornado has struck
him. People can have their fun about ma but
they can't say I'm a d——d too!, and don't you for-
ge: it,"
Use Dallas Times fays:
Galveston would hang any roan as a public enemy
who criticises the conduct of Galveston, ani the
State Press man of Tan Xawc would he the first to
nail the rope. We admire a broad, general p^trioi-
ism ia a man, but we see nothing to applaud in a
precinct or small island patriotism, such as Deals in
the bosom of the Galveston citiaes.
It is the abnormal sire of the Adams apple
in the throat of the Times, not the danger that
State Press will turn Jack Ketch, that causes
the Times to say this. Xo pent-up Utica
bounds the patriotism cf The News. It would
stretch its arms like seas and grasp in all the
thrones, not only of the gulf. Red river and
the Rio Grande, but the great region extending
to the Northern lakes and the coast of Califor-
nia, all of which are connected with Galveston
by the electric chains of commerce and mutual
interests. San Francisco and other large cities
do not show their jealousy toward Galveston
that characterizes the newspapers of some
small Texas towns.
The Hubbard City News prints the report of
the grand jury of Hill county. They say:
We think that in this county the interests of
farmers and stockmen are identical, aad we can
only advise the good citizens of Hill to be vigilsnt
Jo detect, and determined to bring to justice fence
cutters whether they be from among farmers or
pasture men. or whoever they may be.
The Waco Examiner is printed on the banks
of the Brazoe river, having its outlet at Ve-
lasco, where aa effort is in progress to secure
deep water, yet that paper says:
The Sahiae Times is fighting nobly for deep water
at the Pass. We second your efforts. Mr. Times,
and long for direct rail connection with you.
A Methodist in the Whitesboro News men-
tions some of the mutations in the ways of the

Among them the following:

It is not difficult to understand why certain
railroad managements are anxious to see deep
water at Galveston an accomplished fact The
present condition of the Mississippi river ex-
plains this satisfactorily. The Mississippi river
problem i- one that year by veer becomes more
dangerous and eraborra^sisg. How to confine
that river to its banks is a matter of serious
concern and deep perplexity. While this con-
dition exists, railroads operating and looking
to Sew Orleans as a terminal position are
confronted with the annua! hazard of inter-
rupted intercourse. The land approaches to
New Orleans in all directions are menaced or
impeded by overflows, and especially is this
the case with those roads striking New Orleans
on Ae west bank of the river. The Southern
Pacific of California acd the Texas and Pa-
cific are both injuriously afiected by extra-
ordinarily high water in the Mississippi
river, amounting at seasons to total
prohibition of traffic arrangements for
an uncomfortably long period. Deep
water at Galveston would largely obviate
such embarrassing conditions, and with deep
water Galveston would become a principal
terminal position for both these roads. So
reckoning is here made of possible epidemics
at Sew Orleans, although such contingencies
must enter into and disturb the calculations of
railroad managements in their transcontinent-
al operations. It is not at all difficult to un-
derstand the anxiety that is manifested for
deep water at Galveston. Self-interest is a
moving power, and it is fortunate for Galves-
ton that she is able to command it. Thk
Sews pins mere faith to a large exterior in-
fluence of this nature than to all the local co-
operation which it is possible to combine.

gress the power to regulate commerce, but not
to veto it. An American citizen has bought a
ship abroad. Congress refuses to let him
bring it heme ajfd use it In ranning between
Sew York and Gajvestor. This is a power
not expresely delegated to Congress. It is pre-
sumably not for the general welfare. If it is
rightly exercised, Congress might exclude all
foreign manufactured goods by an absolute
prohibition. W onld that be regulating com-
merce! If so, Congress has the sama right to
prohibit d. e. regulate interstate traffic. Why
do not certain people who are just now
alarmed at the finance power take a similar
scare on this commercial power? However,
there is real tyranny in prohibiting an Ameri-
can who has bought a ship from bringing it

tee of th» whole on tha postoSiee appropriation
bill, and declined to yield to Mr. Curtis, who
wished an opportunity to submit the reoort of
the foreign affairs committee npon the Lasker
resloutioES. Thereupon the members of that
committee mustered their forces and attempt
ed to vote down the motion, but though tbev
made a good fight the appropriations commit
tee carae out successful, and the House went
into committee of the whole, Mr. Blount in the
chair, on the bill as stated.
Mr. Cannon raised the point of order against
the second section, which amends the Revised
Statutes so as to'prohibit the weighing of
mails more than cure in every four years-
Messrs. Cannon and Keifer argued in support
of the point, and Messrs. Hciman. Randall and
Townsbend in opposition thereto : but the
chair, in a clear, logical decision, ruled against
his party friends, and sustained the point of
order.
In speaking to the question, Mr. Aiken re-
viewed and characterized the various features
of the bill, declaring that it made the most
niggardly appropriation of any appropriation
biilne had ever considered. He was opposed
to the proviso limiting compensation for mail
service to land-grant roads, and said that, in
spite of himself, the thought would rise up
that there was vicious legislation behind the
clause.
After the committee bad discussed the mat-
ter some time, the great objector from Indiana
arose and presented an amendment to his own
bill. He took in the very roads he had ex-
cluded in framing his bill.
Though be • Aiken did not charge anybody
with having a job in Ihe bUL that Acton had
excited suspicion in his mind. The next thing
in the bill -» hi~h attracted bis attention was
the appropriation of £4.SCl'.iM} for the Star-
route service, and an additional im-
aginary appropriation of $1,000. >J0u. Where

legislation right there. He criticised the com-
mittee for ni-aking no provision for special
mail facilities, and ridiculed the excuse pre-
sented. that it had not been estimated for. The
committee refused to give because the postmas-
ter-general did not asi Why in the name of
common sense did it object to giving what he
did ask forr This species of niggardly legisla-
tion. which was manifested on every page of
the bill, showed conclusively to any right-

bill was to get up cheap notoriety for grand

cause of justice. There is no man so poor, and
no corporation ao rich, that I will prostitute
myself to injustice for the sake of a temporary
advantage which comes from maintaining a
filse position, because some dishonest men are
clamoring against them. I do not undertake
to boast here, but I have no occasion to lower

Jlesrs. Townsen-l White Ky and Randall
opposed the amendment aad Belford advocated
it. and inquired of Randall why a congressman
had not the right to send free a letter on public
business. A mar, who would object to that
was so narrow between his eyes he could look
through a key-hole with both eve*.
Mr. Randall said he dec-lined to oope with
the ee-.itleman from Colorado either in wit
or vulgarity, and maintained the people had
condemned the Cranking privilege.
Sir. Belford thought the interest of mem-
bers in the transaction of public business
required they should send their letters through
the mails, and this pretense of economy c-n the
part of the majority was a shame aud a fraud.

hypocrisy would be exposed acd the people
would be informed the conomy of the Demo-
cratic party was pretrened economy, and. at
the same time keeping in the treasury $100.-
O9Q.O0U. and keeping thousands of men out of
work.
Mr. Randall said those who stood here for
economy, stood regardless of either sneers or
^■plause, having the consciousness of perform-
ing a pnbuc duty in an intelligent and honest
way. He did not know what the issues in the
next campaign might be, bat he did know the
Democratic party never would be condemned
for economy ani frugality in public expendi-
tures.

wai himself a Republican. .There were several
shouts of " Same him from the Republican
side, bat Mr. Townshend declined to do so.
Hr. Townshend went on to ay that since the

the other side had been brought to the front to
ridicule it: every advocate of extravagance,

false clamor against tbe bUL

[Correspondence of The 5ew*.l
New York. March 12, 1SS4.—The growth of
the cattle trade of the United States during
the past twenty-flve years has been most won-
derful. furnishing a striking instance of the
enormous proportions to which a business may
be successfully developed in this country with-
in a comparatively short period. A few oxen
which had been abandoned by their owner and
left to perish, near the present site of Denver,
Colorado, in the autumn of 1S59, were found
fat and in good condition the following spring,
and it was thus first discovered that cattle
oould live through the winter in that part of
the country without shelter and without other
food than the uncut, cured grass to be found in
the valleys. To-day there are millions of cattle
that roam the Western plains, where they are
being raised and fattened for the Eastern mar-
kets.
There are three great cattle belts west of the
Mississippi river, tbe northern, the and
the southern. The first includes Montana aad
Dakota, and is tributary to the Northern Pa-
cific railroad: Colorado, Wyoming. Nebraska,
Utah and the northwestern portion of
below to the second, which is penetrated by
the Union Pacific and the Burlington and Mis-
souri River railroad*, and the third takes in
all the territory south of the second, including
the Indian Territory. New Mexico, Arizona
and Texas, and is tributary to the great South-
western system of railwavs.
For many years Texas has been noted for its
large berds of cattle and its nutritious grasses^
but for a long time, for want of ready ac-
cess to market, the cattle had little more than
a nominal value The suooaas which attended
the experiments of raising cattle on the West-
ern plains, followed by the opening of the Un-
ion a aciSc railroad, led to tbe driving of vast
herds from Texas to Colorado. Wyoming and
adjacent territories, where thsy" were win-
tered prior to being shipped to the Eastern
markets, and • tfcis practice is still con-
tinued, although, sinoe the open-
ing of the Southwestern system of
railway*, there t*. of ooarse. less driving and
more shipping direct from toe Texas rang*^ to
the Northern markets. The nreeest native cat-
tle of the West axe a cross or the Texas long-
horns and the short-horns of Kentucky and
otner Northern State#. Within a few years
p^-tthe Western cattlemen have organized as-
hccutioos for the general management of their
ijusineas. They have secured the passage of
stringent laws prescribing severe punishment
for ileal ing cattle, and inspectors are employ-
ed at all points where they are first unloaded
after leaving the plains.
Although large numbers of cattle are re-
ceived at Omaha, Kansas Citv and St. Louis,
especially at certain seasons of the year. Chi-
cago is the one great central point to which
range cattle are shipped and where the Eastern
and Western dealers meet. The following
table indi cates the growth of the business at
Chicago since the beginning of 156£, when the
yearly receipts of ail cattie were les= th*n
400.000 hesd. The table gives the receipts and
shipments of cattle alone, while the column
showing the total value covers the receipts of

The re#ipts •est year were far in excess of
any previous year in the history of tbe busi-
ness. and were more than twice as large as the
receipts eight years ago. The increase in the
kept pace with
the growth of the receipts, the principal cause
for which has be»n the ceTelopment of the
packing interest and. mere especially within
the past two or three years, the shipment of
fresh beef from Chicago to the East in refrig-
erator cars.
Tbe receipts of cattle at the four principal
Atlantic ports for the past seven years have

It will be seen that while the receipts at Chi-
cago since 1SS0 have been increased over & per
cent., the receipts at Atlantic ports have actu-
ally fallen off. tae decrease last year, as com-
red with 1530, being over luO.OOO head,
ere is a wide difference of opinion as to
ultimate success cf the system of carrying
fresh beef from 1000 to 3X0 miles in refriger-
ator car?. At present, however, a very large
percentage of the beef consumed in the" mans-
facturing cities and towns throughout the New
England States. New York and New Jersev.
is transported in this way. An illustration of the
change which has taken place during the past
two years, is furnished by the city of Paterson.
N. j.f which formerly took from 150 to 20u
cattle weekly from the New York and Jersev
City stock yards. At present the same citv
doeis not take more than a carload weekly, ft
is estimated that the Weastern dressed" beef
which was received at New York and adjacent
cities and towns in 1888 was equal to 15m»j head
of cattle per week. One £rm of Chicago
butchers, it is stated, supplies as many as
ninety-six localities in the East with refrigera-
tor beef.
Our export trade in both beef and live cat-
tle reached its maximum in 1"$>1, the value of
such exports for that year amounting to $26.-
?ca>.14e: brwever, it is still more than twice as
large as it was six years a?o. and more than
ei^tt times as large as the average for the
eijht years from l5*>3 to le73, inclusive. Tbe
following table shows the exports for the fiscal
years ending June 30, from all United States
ports of beef in pounds and the number of cat-
tie. as well as the value of both combined:

1 ifti valseU at 71 o.T^S.'of which 12.501.-
~3j6 were milch cows, rained at $433,4^5,€49.
The number and ralue are steadily facrMaing
each year, and without doubt will continue to
ncrease for many years to oome. Prices are
steady and have" been well maintained for
more than a year past, although they are not
as high as the extreme figure- reach-
ed in the spring of Re-
cent reports frum the West indicate
that the past winter has been farorabie to cat-
tie-raise. s, and that the loses wnl be light.
The profits of a well-managed range are very
larze. it is estimated that, wita -Vju ■ head of
cattle to start a ranch, a net profit of $35,001*
to $50tOOC» yearly my be realized after the sec-
ond year without diminishing the size of the
herd.
The growth of this industry during the
period under review has been so far in excess
of anything anticipated a quarter ot a century
ago, and it ha« now reached such magnitude,
that predictions as to its further development
in tee future woul-i seem out of place, and we
leave the facts ani figures, as presented, to
year careful consideration, vrithout additional
"ojmiDeut. _
